Boots dreams of herrings
Alexis was watching his wife converse with her pet cat with barely contained amusement.
“Look at you, you poor fat lady”, Morven crooned to the cat, “I bet your feet are really hurting, I know mine are”.
Alexis stared at the enormous cat which was now purring furiously. He had not idea how many kittens were inside that thing, but it looked like it was bursting at the seams with them.
Speaking of which is wife was looking rather rotund herself, despite the fact that she was not due till February. He had been comparing her figure closely with that of the other pregnant women on the island and had come to the conclusion that his wife was in fact, larger than normal. Especially after a thorough visual comparison with one of the peasants Darina, who was the same size as Morven was now, even though he had heard Darina was due in December. He had also noted with joy, that his wife’s breasts had swollen to a much bigger size than Darina’s.
“Maybe you should not eat so much candy and that cat a little less herrings and you would both be a damn site thinner”, he said, chuckling, unable to hide the smile that had crept unbidden from beneath his moustache.
Morven’s face contorted into an expression of mock horror.
“Did you hear what that nasty man said Boots? What a terrible thing to say. Are not men horrible… especially when they are to blame for this uncomfortable state we now find ourself in”.
Boots meowed in agreement. She had not seen the tomcat who had got these kittens on her since that fateful night in the ships hull. She rubbed her face against her mistress, purring louder still, grateful to find someone who understood.
Morven nuzzled her back, stroking her soft, black fur.
“Hey! What about my snuggles… what about my nuzzling”, Alexis demanded from the bed.
Morven looked over at her husband who was lying expectantly on the bed with his hands folded over his naked stomach.
She gently put Boots onto the floor, and turned towards the bed.
“Oof… I just felt the baby kick… what have you put inside me Alexis”, she grinned despite herself, “It feels like it’s dancing the polka”.
She rubbed her belly gently, grinning at Alexis.
“I guess he’s his father’s son”, Alexis said, “I have always been a fantastic dancer… that’s probably why you married me in the first place”.
Morven had started to move around the bed. Alexis lost his train of thought as he watched the slow progression.
He thought he would not have been interested in Morven when she was pregnant, that he would have needed to find his pleasure elsewhere. But he could not have been more wrong. She seemed more beautiful to him now, if that were possible, her skin glowing, her body round and curvy and her breasts deliciously swollen.
She carefully lowered herself onto the bed beside him, “So how do you know it’s going to be a son?”.
“Because I just know these things my dear, call it a very strong feeling I have of sonliness emanating from you round belly”.
He wrapped an arm around her and gently pulled her closer to him.
“Now that I have you all to myself finally…”, he began to gently stroke her stomach.
Suddenly there was a thud on the bed as a furry black creature landed next to them, purring madly.
“Or not”, Alexis sighed.
He did not mind his wife having that cat, he knew that Boots made her very happy. And he was oddly attached to the fat black thing but it always interrupted them at the most inopportune of moments.
“This my dear, is what is known as catus interruptus”.
Morven giggled as he whispered in her ear, “Do you think she will go away if we close our eyes and pretend we don’t see her”.
“I do not know Alexis, maybe we can give it a try”.
They both shut their eyes tightly, but Alexis felt Morven laughing against him and so opened his again.
Boots had squashed herself into the hollow at the back of Morven’s knees, burying her face in the folds of dress.
“Well that worked well”, Alexis smiled, “Well my dear, Boots is just going to have to cover her ears because I find you way too enticing today to be deterred by a small, furry person invading our bed”.
He gently kissed her soft lips, his kisses becoming gradually stronger and moving down her neck towards those swollen breasts.
Boots was exhausted, as she lay curled up on the blankets oblivious to what was going on around her. It was hard work lugging around a belly full of kittens, and she slept soundly, purring softly, dreaming of buckets full of herrings.
That chapter was a delight from beginning to end, Verity! Twins, maybe? The smile sneaking up from beneath the mustache? Boots reflecting on the faithlessness of toms? This feeling of “sonliness”? And catus interruptus?
You are in fine form tonight, my dear.
You are also seriously tempting me to install Pets!
Awwwww, kitty!! I love it. I love cats… and I LOVE “catus interruptus”… how true…
I’m assuming you, too, have cats, ha!
It isn’t twins, is it? A boy and a girl would be wonderful. And hopefully at least one boy.
And kittens! I really want Pets now, if only to inflict my neighborhood with catus interruptus and download some beautiful lots on MTS2.
Hi. aww cute kitty. I like cats too but their fur set my asthma off or at least my grandma’s cat used too I haven’t been around any cats for a while so I don’t know if they still do.
um either that’s a big baby she’s got or there’s more then one. I’ll be looking forward to seeing all them babies and Boot’s kittens.
Keep Simming!.
See ya.
Hi guys!
It always seems I am tempting you with installations Lothere… sorry about that
I do really like the kitty’s on Pets but I have to admit in general I was a bit disappointed with it. At least for actual playing… it wasn’t as fun as I had thought. But for storytelling it is good when you need an animal to move occasionally. It is a bit hard because you can’t actually control what they dol so you just have to hope that they will do what you want… or try to put them in a situation that makes them.
I am a cat lover too Mao! That is one of the worst thing about living over here… I miss my kitties so much. I have two back home in Australia… Omar and Piwacket. They are so cute and they were part of a found litter (there was a third but he died when he was three from kidney failure… ack I still miss him so much
) so we actually bottlefed them and they are really affectionate. I get to see them when I talk to my parents and sister… they usually hold them up in front of the webcam for me. Sometime they even meow if I talk to them… v. cute.
We actually came up with catus interruptus when Piwacket decided she liked to sleep lying fully stretched out between my boyfriend and I
Aithne… I’m keeping quiet about the twins issue… you’re just going to have to wait and see
Hmmm… want kittys… we are thinking about buying our own apartment (or at least a very small portion of it since we will need a gigantic loan) but then I could get a cat. At the moment we live the two of us in 18 square metres (we have a shared kitchen with other people also) so it is not really an option.
Hi Pandora… oh no poor you!… you’re allergic to kitties?
I hope they don’t set off your asthma anymore… I would hate to be allergic to cats. Maybe you have grown out of it a bit… I think that is how it works… I seem to have grown out of my asthma mostly… I only get it now when I am stressed or if I go near volcanoes… the sulfur dioxide does bad things to me (all my dreams of being a volcanologist shattered 
Hi. I hope I’m not allergic anymore either!. I’m wondering if it is certian cats as I remember visiting my great aunt in new york and she had 2 cats and I don’t remember coughing much which is suprising since one of them kept following me around. Maybe that’s another reason why my aunt thought I was psyhic? she said to my mum that I can see people’s souls. I was only nine at the time!.
Don’t worry I can’t see people’s souls!. I wouldn’t want to I would rather do something I can prove like move things with my mind now that’s cool.
Keep Simming!.
See ya.
That would definitely be a good trick… like my second favourite comic book character Jean Grey (Wolverine of course being my first favourite
– seeing people’s souls is sort of creepy idea… but interesting I guess. You could go around saying things like, “that man’s soul is as black as night”. Or not 
Yay our first glimpse of a big belly, I can’t wait to see this baby born.
I know Devin! I was so excited to be finally doing a post where someone was sporting a belly
Hi. Interesting idea Verity! Scare my aunt a little if I see her at all lol! (I live in England and she’s in New york) nah I won’t do that.
I’m glad she didn’t have dogs though as for some reason they always jump up at me! I remember one time I was at my uncle’s house and sitting down minding my own bussiniess when his dog pinned me to the sofa and started licking my face! and no I wasn’t offering any treats or eating anything!.
Keep Simming!
See ya.
